The aptitude on your system is an older version (on sid it is 0.8.1), maybe it hasn't the full architecture support. The dpkg output is reliable, I think. Since in the output of the dpkg command all amd64 packages have an "ii" at the beginning of the line, it shows that all your amd64 packages are

Some more explanations: these tilde-on-letter combinations are search patterns for aptitude. "~c" stands for packages already removed but not purged, there are some config files left on the system. See also "--purge --pending" in the man page of dpkg. So this does no harm if you don't intend to rei

Greetings all; I re-added the amd64 architecture to the architecture's in dpkg/synaptic, but the package -> force-version remains stubbornly ghosted, so I cannot fix any broken patckages that are preventing the install of any updates. So I try to have dpkg remove the amd64 aarchitecture, but no
